when i open firefox and have one tab open, doesnt matter what site it will freeze and i go to task manager and it says i have 15 open and ill end task and open again and it will say more or less

Hello Firefox Support,

Since the latest update of the Firefox browser, I have been experiencing frequent freezes. The browser becomes unresponsive when performing basic actions such as:

• Clicking on the menu

• Closing tabs

• Copying or editing the URL

When this happens, the only way to recover is to close Firefox and reopen it.

Could you please advise on how to resolve this issue?

Thank you for your support.

Best regards, Mohamed Adel

Ever since this month's Windows 10 update I've been having problems with Firefox. I start it, the menu bar and tab comes up, but then nothing. I can't access any web sites. I tried removing the Windows update, then tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox, and then messing with the settings. In each case Firefox would work for a couple of days, then I'd have to start it three or four times to get it to work, then it wouldn't work at all. I've been using it for 10 or more years now (four on this computer) and have never had any problems before. I'm loathe to switch to another browser, but if this can't be fixed I won't have any choice. This is what happens when I start the program.

Hi, I have 30 Firefox processes running and they are taking up ~2700 MB (84%) memory. I have 8GB installed memory. I'm running Win 11. What causes processes to run and how do I know which ones I can end?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks, John

A couple days ago, some weird issues have started:

• All my bookmarks are gone
• Any of the buttons in the UI that open a smaller UI do not work (such as the 3 bar menu)
• Similarly, right clicking to open a menu (such as "Save Image") also does not work
• Any dropdown menus in websites seem to also not work. For example, in this very support page, I could not select an option in the "Which topic best describes your question?".

I can't restart and troubleshoot Firefox since I can't access the 3 bar menu.

im using firefox on ubuntu, version 139.0.4. when i browse the internet using firefox, every some time the toolbar and the search bar "freeze" - i am unable to click anything, from the url, to any of the buttons. it takes up to like 1/2 minutes for the search bar and the toolbar to work again. i never had this issue before, neither on ubuntu (and other linux distributions), nor on windows...

Hello. Yesterday when I started my PC, the Firefox browser wouldn't restore my previous session. This has of course happened before, so I restarted, but that didn't help. So then I have to restore all the pages myself, boring. BUT, when firefox doesn't remember any of my usual pages, I'm starting to worry. Then I think I want to update Firefox, and that's when I discover my main problem.....I can't access the menu in the three symbols at the top right (shown in the picture/attachment). I can't open my profile, can't open extensions, can't download anything or open the downloads icon, and most importantly, CAN NOT open the "Open application menu" (the icon with three horizontal lines), so THEN I have a big problem. The menu bar and everything there is available, but without access to "Open application menu" I can't reinstall Firefox. I can't save bookmarks either, or see if the bookmarks are in a backup or something. So, I don't dare delete firefox, then reinstall it, without knowing if I'll find my bookmarks again. I've tried saving them to a file, but I've never heard of a JSON file, and I don't know how to process it. I should also add that I deleted all my AVAST anti virus programs and files two days ago. And I have found out that I do have the latest firefox update. Hope someone can help me or give me some tips. I'm not particularly computer savvy either, just so you know. And I'm norwegian :) Thanx, Bendik.

Warning Unresponsive script, this popup causes many issues as I use many tabs and it will get the popup and the only choice I have is to say continue, that then redirects me to that tab, so what I was doing gets interrupted. I have to go and find the tab I was working in when I may get another popup. I've had it where I've had popup under other popups, I tried the extending the time but that seemed to make things worse.

I need to totally disable that popup, tell me how.

Firefox I'm getting nothing done, Do I really need to use chrome?

just takes to long to start, when i turn the computer on. Google Or Microsoft will come on almost instantly & when Firefox comes on, it says turn it off cause its running but not responding. this happens 80 to 90 % of the time. Why ?

I am having trouble with Firefox that's very odd: the tabs keep overlapping and I am not able to click on links.

It keeps happening randomly and I have no idea why!

I've attached a screen grab so you can see what I mean.

When this happens I have to close down the tabs in question and then reopen them.

Never had this issue before.
